Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord You say, "I was awake,I dreamt,I slept soundly." Now, who is this "I?" Who is this "I" that persists from birth to death, that deals with the body and all its organs and senses, all the various feelings, impulses and experiences as "its,its possessions,its instruments?" That 'I' is the thing to be known, and once known, you must not allow your mind to stray away from it. Death stalks every living being; disintegration waits on all created things. From a world so transient, so uncertain and unstable, one has to win the goal of eternal peace and eternal bliss. The eternal Atma is associated with the ephemeral body! Discrimination alone can make this plain. Detachment alone can make the road clear. Everyone must be firm in the belief that he is the Atma, and not the body with its senses of perception and action, its inner equipment of mind, intellect, reasoning faculty and the ego. He must know that he undergoes no change, that he cannot die or be destroyed. Therefore, Oh Embodiments of Love, turn your vision from the outer universe into the Inner Glory, the Atmic Splendor, which you really are. The man who strives to attain the awareness of this Atma has indeed fulfilled the destiny of man. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XIV, P. 218. Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XIV, P. 229.
